PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I just love(d) football. They wouldn’t let me play it, except on the streets with the lads and even then they tried (but failed) to always have me as goalie so I had to get my football as best I could. City one week, Trafford next.

I don’t need to defend my love for our team but I am not going to deny what I did in my youth when the world was less judgemental. :-) :-) :-)

When I was a kid, my parents divorced and I used to spend the odd weekend at my Dads in Hopwood, Heywood. I got to know a few lads around there and a couple of them were utd fans (they rarely went, even then)

When they would call at his house to see if I was coming out, on a couple of occasions one of them might be wearing a utd scarf, my Dad used to let the non-scarf wearers in to wait, but made the scarf one stand outside until I was ready, proudly proclaiming "I'm not having shit like that in my house"

Are those scarf wearers the reason for your username !!!

Probably nonsense like the rest but it’s a big call to say we’ll be “wholly” cleared.

Not sure I’ve seen such an unambiguous claim.

If you scroll down a bit on the account you can see it’s clearly just some teenager pretending to build up some followers and engagement, and it’s worked.

Unfortunately we’re at the point where our fan base is grasping at straws due to curiosity and uncertainty.

You eat stuff that lives in the sea? (or rock pools for that matter).
You do know that we pump all our human waste into there and they subsist on it, don't you?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, big woodlice fed on your own shit, lovely! ;)


PS....

Clears throat, stands up, bows head slightly to avoid making eye-contact with others...

"My name is the-ecstacy-of-eight, and on occasions during my 53 years on this planet we call Earth I have attended non-City games at Old Trafford with some of my united supporting mates, mainly whilst at university but also later in life, probably about 7 or 8 in total....

.....I've also been to quite a few PNE matches, both home and away with a mate....

....and County, again both home and away"

...cries, and sits down again.

So ashamed! ;)

You need to join Rags Anonymous. They will support you through cold Turkey.
First meeting you stand up and say: “My name is Bertie and I have been to the swamp.”
You’ll feel a lot better.
 
Look for news at 10.30pm today. That's when I think the embargoed part of Pep's press conference will be released. One of the first questions yesterday was on 115, to which Pep gave his in 1-4 weeks comment. I'd expect follow-up questions in the post-embargo section...if the journalists are on the ball.

I think that it's likely that there is contact between the commission-City's Legal team-City's board and key staff and hence it's worth posing the question when asked. Unfortunately we have to rely on what is generally a hostile media to do this for us. Unless we want to do this?
 
Stop Press
The panel have ruled:
1. Geoff Hurst’s shot did not cross the line.
2. Bobby Stokes was offside in the 1976 cup final. No Goal. Extra time to be played. All players, alive or dead, back to Wembley on July 1st. KS55 to repay the bookies who paid out on Soton at 5/1.
3. Sergio Aguero handled the ball while scoring the winner in 2012. The rags are the champions.
4. There is no evidence that Masters knows what he is doing.

My missus this morning ( doesn't really understand the politics of football ) having a rant about how long it's taking for the results of the hearing.
She than said if City were guilty we wouldnt get relegated because the league needs competition.
At this point I spat my brew out in surprise. I had to explain to her that football needs dippers, rags and gooners to win the league between them self's other wise it's boring. The fact that City have won the league on the last game of the season 4 or 5 times isn't exciting lol.

She than said....course winning on the last day is exciting, I kept trying to see you in the crowd against villa. The sound when the goals went in was amazing. I had to explain it's was boring to the press/media because we beat the dippers to the league.

She than said ....well it boring this season as it isn't two teams fighting it out with dippers so far ahead.
I had to explain that it's only boring if it's City leading by 13 odd points.

Missus is new to football we only been together 10 years or so, she didn't know the rags, dippers or gooners were once successfully. Actually ignore the dippers 2 titles in 34 yrs isn't really a monopoly lol.

Missus says these charges are clearly out of jealousy.

Missus doesn't understand what is wrong with our Sheikh investing as much as he wants. Again I had to explain that the rags, dippers and gooners are American own. Owners that don't want to spend money but only take it out to be successful. Had to explain as with trump Americans are a racist society and want the world to run to their tune.

Than a very good point my missus made.....they ( pl UEFA etc ) don't like middle east money in the game but are happy to take it in fines against you !

It is hard trying to explain to the missus and I guess to alot of other fans as they don't understand or follow this continuous attack on City. The British press/media have played a blinder in helping the pl, gooners, dippers and rags. To everyone apart from us City fans we must be guilty and that's the bottom line.

We need City to come out once cleaned and name names and clubs who are behind this. Us fans need to know the club will throw shit and name these bastards.

As fans (well I have) We have had to put up with being called 'cheats' 'wanker' 'cheating cunts' when just out shopping with the missus. At one point I was thinking of not going out in my City gear, than I thought 'these bastards aren't going to stop me'.

This topic of conversation at 8am Saturday morning killed any romantic ideas I had lol.

This rant could have gone in the media thread as well

The sun is out there isn't a cloud in the sky, what a beautiful morning :)
